The APEX Lifestyle
Training to become a lineworker is more than just a classroom or a job skill—it’s a lifestyle. At APEX Elite Line Academy, you’ll be part of a close-knit cohort, working side by side with peers who share your drive and determination. Together, you’ll train hard, push limits, and prepare for a career that keeps communities powered and connected.
Spectacular Outdoor Surroundings
Located in the heart of Eastern Oregon, Baker City offers a welcoming community and breathtaking natural surroundings. From the Blue Mountains to the Elkhorn Range, the area is perfect for students who love the outdoors. Whether you enjoy hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, or just exploring, you’ll find endless opportunities to enjoy the landscape when you’re not training.
A Strong Community
With small class sizes, you won’t be just another face in the crowd. You’ll form lasting friendships and professional connections as you learn and train together. Our students often describe their cohort as a family—supporting one another in and out of the classroom.
Hands-On, Outdoor Training
Most of your training happens outside, in real-world conditions that prepare you for the demands of the job. You’ll climb poles, operate equipment, and work at heights, building the confidence and resilience needed for linework. At APEX, the outdoors is your classroom. When the weather does not cooperate you will welcome training and climbing in our indoor pole yard.
A Culture of Leadership & Character
APEX isn’t just about skills—it’s about building leaders. Our program emphasizes character, integrity, and teamwork, ensuring you’re not only prepared for the technical side of linework, but also ready to lead crews, make safe decisions, and represent the profession with pride.
Balance & Support
We know the program is challenging, but we make sure students have the resources they need to thrive. From student coaches who support your academic and personal journey, to community resources for housing and wellness, life at APEX is structured to help you succeed both on and off the training field.
